Yea I was told $350 when I sent a pic similar to the one with the people in it, but I have a feeling that when they set it up it will just be very basic without flowers and if I want the flowers and streamers off of it then it will be extra. If I end up going the beach route and use the chuppah, I think I will take the same picture I sent her and make sure that is what I get for $350 and not pay any more.

i'd definitely do this! print out the email she sent with the picture you attached and make sure it's no more than $350. honestly, i think the $350 includes flowers. their centerpieces are $90 (!!!!!!!) and i have to believe that they've got this setup and the fabric hanging around some where and if you don't add any extras they just put it up and take down the arch. maybe that's wishful thinking though? i plan on asking my WC (once one gets assigned to me) what the price will be w/out flowers and then i'll let you guys know!

Thanks ash! Yea I think I'll be okay for my date. I was thinking to put it in November, outside of hurricane season but I don't want to wait that long to be married and I like the thought of celebrating my anniversary in summer rather than winter. Having said that, I still haven't put it together yet! There is something really daunting about it...or maybe I am on BDW too much and never get around to it Gonna try and tackle it now.

Dreams Punta Cana here we come....Jan16-23. Even got the wedding date I wanted, but now I still need to decide whether to have a civil or symbolic... leaning towards symbolic this time...would just be much easier...and cheaper!

Congrats Tam!!! In my opinion, it would be a lot less of a head ache (just because of all the paper work and extra money) to go with the symbolic. However, if you are set on getting "legally" married in front of family and friends at Dreams, I would say go for civil. Honestly, I would love to just go get married today at the court house and then do a symbolic ceremony while I was down in Punta Cana, BUT my family and his family are going there because they want to see us get married, and we want them to be there for the actual thing too! So we are going for civil. It's whatever you feel is right for the both of you!

I agree with you, Ash!! We went back and forth between a symbolic and a civil ceremony, and finally we have decided on the civil. Although it is much less headache to do a symbolic, we wanted our wedding anniversary (as everyone knew it) to be that day. It wouldn't make it any less special, but we also had to intention of not telling anyone we go married before. We decided that we didn't want to deceive our family, so we are going with civil.. haha! But if your parents and family and guests are aware that it is a renewal of vows so to speak, and are still willing to come and are ok with it, I would go with that!!

I didn't do my own I use a company called Pink Design Monograms, her designs are soo cute here's her website Pink Design Events - Stylish Stationery Design she is actually on maternity leave right now but will be back soon. I've seen a couple other brides on here use her services as well.

Hey does anyone know if you bring a DJ can you rent equipement from the resort ? I don't want to use the resort DJ because if he is not good I will be very upset. I though about using DJ Mannia but I don't want to pay him 800 and have never heard his dj'ing skills. I'd rather pay my own DJ to come and i know exactly how he sounds. We both love good music. what do you all think ?

Hello everyone,
Well, this upcoming valentine's day is special for me because I got engaged and planning to spend the day with my fiance. I'm planning to give her an ethical jumpsuit.

Other than that I have been searching the internet for some nice discounted coupons and searched among my friends and found different sites. Now, we are looking forward to that wonderful day. We searched a lot and found out, Escape The City. Orangeville is a great place for a day trip or weekend gateway from Toronto.
Theatre Orangeville is offering a weekend package that includes 2 tickets to a Live performance at the theatre, Premium Overnight Accommodations at Best Western Plus Orangeville Inn and Suites and $75 Downtown Wine and Dine Voucher which is valid at select Downtown restaurants, and Free Entry to the scenic Trails & Bridges of Island Lake.

We are so excited and eagerly waiting for that day.
If anyone has got any other suggestions for the venue, kindly share your thoughts/ideas.
Thank You!
